Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1630 Pigs must be killed if they are fattened
At the moment in 1925, various major national economic indicators in southern Africa have reached unprecedented levels, the market is unprecedentedly prosperous, and per capita income continues to increase. Gold reserves have increased from 1914 million rand in 0.5 to the current 15 billion rand, accounting for almost Half of the world's total gold reserves.

Behind the prosperity of the market lies an unknown crisis.

Not only southern Africa, in 1925, major countries in the world had come out of the economic crisis, people's confidence in the market was increasing, and social production was constantly recovering. The friction between southern Africa and the United States in the past few years was rooted in southern Africa. Commodities and competition from U.S. commodities.

To put it bluntly, more and more commodities are produced, but the scale of the market has not expanded accordingly, so a larger-scale economic crisis is quietly approaching.

"I fired 15000 workers this year, because there are fewer people building houses and so many construction workers are no longer needed." Christian felt deeply. Last year, the construction market in southern Africa reached its peak, and the construction under Christian's name throughout the year The company, which has built at least 100 million houses, has seen a marked contraction in the construction market this year.

Christian himself started out as a construction company and is the largest construction company in southern Africa. At the peak of his name, there were more than 20 construction companies. Compared with the peak period, there are now only [-] construction companies left.

Although the number is small, the strength is increasing. After all, if you want to fire, you must first fire those ordinary workers who are not skilled enough and their jobs are more replaceable. Skilled workers can still keep their jobs.

Of course, compared with last year, the salary will definitely drop to a certain extent, which is inevitable.

Rock can only rejoice now that most of the construction workers hired by Christian are Africans from neighboring countries in southern Africa, not southern Africans, so even if Christian fires more people, it will not cause too much damage to southern Africa. influences.

However, we must be vigilant against this trend. It is only the construction industry now. As the economic development slows down, it will definitely affect other industries.

Like a mine—

Well, in fact, the mines don’t need to worry too much. After all, most of the miners in the southern African mines are Africans from the countries surrounding southern Africa.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the economic crisis will not have much impact on southern Africa.

"The federal government is preparing to upgrade the existing public transportation facilities, and you should also be prepared." Roque is still prepared. As long as southern Africans have jobs, the impact of the economic crisis can be minimized.

In fact, there are traces of economic crisis. Since the middle and late last century, almost every economic crisis in the world started with the stock market crash in the United States. When people lose confidence in the market, bank runs will accelerate the collapse of banks. Then factories and enterprises were forced to close due to lack of financial support, a large number of workers lost their jobs, lost their source of income, and then the entire society fell into chaos.

Relatively speaking, Southern Africa's ability to fight the economic crisis is much stronger than that of the United States.

The biggest problem in the U.S. financial industry is that there is too much private capital. More than 1 banks seem to be very prosperous, but in fact they are not large. This makes the ability of banks to resist risks very weak. Countless people's lifetime savings were wiped out in ashes.

When Philip was Prime Minister, the largest bank in southern Africa was the Rand Bank, the second largest was the Bank of Rhodesia, the third was the Imperial Bank, the fourth largest—

Nope, southern Africa has very strict restrictions on finance. The Imperial Bank still relies on its British background to successfully enter southern Africa. It is extremely difficult for private banks to enter southern Africa. After the signing of the agreement between Rock and Coolidge, southern Africa only slightly Let go a little.

It’s really just a little bit. After Rock and Coolidge signed the agreement, American private banks can enter southern Africa, but American private banks can only invest in southern Africa and cannot absorb savings, which loses the greatest significance of banks.

Of course, the same is true for the United States. Southern African capital can also enter the United States now, but it can only be invested and cannot absorb savings.

This has little impact on southern Africa. Southern African capital entering the United States is not intended to exploit American money, but to buy American companies during the economic crisis.

"Didn't it just be upgraded a few years ago—" Christian beamed with joy. He regarded the federal government's upgrade of public transportation facilities as Rock's care for him.

It's normal, Christian's biggest achievement in this life is to hug Rock's thigh tightly and make money with Rock.

"What are you thinking about? The federal government is not for you, nor is it a tool for private profit. The purpose of upgrading public transportation facilities is to increase the proportion of the federal government in the field of public transportation. You have to take the initiative to find a way. From now on, Putting profit in the second place, the main task is to survive, isn't the money you earn enough to spend?" Rock has high demands on Christian, and the money Christian earns now cannot be spent in ten lifetimes, so he should bear the burden Some social responsibility.

"Layoffs are just to survive - when my company undertook federal government projects, profits were extremely low, and private construction profits were negligible. Ten years ago, the most popular style of housing in southern Africa was townhouses. Now people I have money in my pocket, and the requirements for houses are constantly increasing. Last year, the company built about 100 million houses, most of which are modern buildings with reinforced concrete structures." Christian is also wronged, he is the largest builder in southern Africa , not a real estate developer.

The largest real estate developer in Southern Africa is Stoudemire.

When society develops to a certain stage, real estate development also emerges as the times require.

Ten years ago, the urbanization of southern Africa had not reached 30.00%, and most of the new immigrants were assigned to the states to farm, and the agriculture in southern Africa also developed rapidly.

Now with the growth of a new generation of southern Africans, the process of urbanization is accelerating, and the demand for housing is also increasing.

The real estate in southern Africa is not completely commercialized. As the largest real estate developer in southern Africa, Stoudemire develops so-called luxury houses for the rich, with high prices and high profits and more taxes paid.

Low-priced and low-profit affordable housing is mainly developed by federal governments at all levels. Those college students who have just left school mainly live in such apartments. If they want to improve, they can buy luxury houses developed by developers. No matter how much money, the family can't provide support, and they won't be displaced.

In addition to apartments that can be purchased, public rental housing exists widely in southern Africa. After Roque became prime minister, governments at all levels of the federal government are adjusting tax rates, mainly property tax and inheritance tax.

The real estate tax in southern Africa is the first set of exemption. The standard of this first set is less than 120 square meters. On the premise that there is no sharing, 120 square meters is enough for a family.

Starting from the second set, the federal government will levy a progressive property tax. The amount starts at [-]% of the property value. It is unrealistic to praise a large number of houses as apartments in southern Africa. For the rich, although the property tax is not high, the inheritance tax is the worst.

Inheritance tax in southern Africa can be received up to 50.00%. Don’t think that this tax rate is very high. The inheritance tax in the United States can reach a terrifying 70.00%. [-]. Why don’t so many wealthy people in the United States want to set up foundations to avoid high taxes? Inheritance tax is one of the main reasons.

Foundations don’t work well in southern Africa. Southern Africa has very strict restrictions on private funds. They don’t want to be established just because they want to be established. After they are established, they must also be subject to the supervision of the federal government, and there are strict restrictions on the foundation’s foreign investment. , Like the American foundation, it goes to Africa to do charity at every turn, claiming to spend tens of millions, which basically does not exist in southern Africa.

The fundamental purpose of all these is to promote the continuous progress of society and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. For this reason, the Federal Tax Administration under the Ministry of Finance has become the most powerful agency in southern Africa. The consequences of concealing income and tax evasion are very serious, and punitive fines It will be punished to the point of bankruptcy.

"Come on, I don't know how much money you can make every year—" Rock dismissed it. Christian now earns more money than Rock every year.

It sounds unbelievable, right? In fact, this is the truth.

Most of the enterprises under Rock's name are physical industries.

One of the biggest problems in the physical industry is that more profits should be put on technology research and development and product upgrading. In this way, it seems that the profits are large, but in fact the balance is not much, and the money earned is spent on industrial production. , If you don’t lose money, you will be making money.

The construction field is also very profitable, especially Christian. Most of the workers are Africans with low wages. The biggest expenditure of construction companies is not the salary of workers, but the replacement of construction machinery. For a labor-intensive In terms of industry, how outrageous this situation is.

"It's true that you make a lot of money, and you spend a lot of money. Donations cost millions of rand each year—" Christian is not stubborn. The Minister of Finance is Ada, and the Rand Bank is a company under the name of Roque. Christie loves to think Pretend to be stupid, but I really can't pretend.

Christian is the largest benefactor of the foundation under the name of Phyllis. He donates several million every year, mainly to the foundation under the name of Phyllis.

Of course, the Christians are very smart. In addition to donating money to the foundation under the name of Phyllis, they also donate a primary school, a library, and build roads and bridges in remote areas from time to time. Don’t underestimate these good deeds. , This is also an important reason why Christian can still eat with Rock now.

If Christian didn't pull out any hair, he might have been thrown back to Robben Island by now. The pig has been fattened up, so he shouldn't be killed.
